Class Room Information
Care Bears: Nationally Accredited, Keystone 4 Star Program
This brightly decorated room is for our infants and toddlers from 6 weeks to 15 months of age. The teacher and assistants provide loving, individual care in a comfortable atmosphere. Daily activities include feeding and sleeping schedules, infant stimulation, tactile experiences, art activities, etc. For example, the staff interact with the children by playing games such as peek-a-boo, singing and dancing, building block towers then knocking them down, outside play twice a day (weather permitting) among many others. The room is divided into two sections to allow age appropriate play. You can feel the “care” that your little “bear” receives!
Ducks: Nationally Accredited, Keystone 4 Star Program
This very spacious room is perfect for the adventurous toddler from 15 – 26 months of age. A large portion of the room is designed to provide an environment suitable for the active, inquisitive nature of two year olds. There are 2 groups formed in the room, each with a teacher and assistants. The Yellow Ducks are 15-20 months and the White Ducks are 20 -26 months. Each group acts independently of the other to allow for optimal, individual care with time set aside for larger group experiences. Their day is planned with many fun and exciting activities that stimulate their curiosity and encourage their independence. Activity abounds throughout the day with circle time, singing, dancing, building, puzzles, eating and even napping! Toilet training is introduced with the help of the parent(s). Our terrific twos are just “Ducky!”
Mouseketeers: Nationally Accredited, Keystone 4 Star Program
This warm, cozy room is a haven for toddlers aged 27-30 months. A smaller room with fewer children provides the ultimate atmosphere in which toddlers grow best. Socialization skills are nurtured as these active explorers learn about themselves in relation to others. Many hands-on activities are planned which will help develop their curious minds. Toilet training continues as they gain confidence in being independent “big” boys and girls! “M”, “I”, “C”, (See the children play!)… “K”, “E”, “Y”, (Why? Because that is how the Mouseketeers learn!)...
”M”, “O”, “U”, “S”, “E” (Everyone has fun!)

Accredited 3-4 Year Old Pre-School Program, Licensed by the Department of Education.
This bright and cheery room is perfect for 3-4 year olds ready to manipulate things in their world.

Our “Koalas” are “Kool”!
Pooh Bears: Nationally Accredited, Keystone 4 Star Program
Accredited 4-5 Year Old Pre-School / Pre-K Program, Licensed by the Department of Education.
You can feel the energy as soon as you step into this fun filled den for 4-5 years olds. These “bears” follow a preschool curriculum until January when they start the Pre-K program. The teacher sets the room up to allow for individual progress to accommodate those who are ready to advance to more academics and those who are still learning more at a social level. Pre-Reading, Math, Writing, Science, Social Studies, Art, Gym, Music, and Social Skills comprise the major parts of the curriculum. They use the same approach as the 3-4 year old program such as child-directed activities and themes. This is a “Honey” of a bunch!
